Barnyard Buddies

Chapter 3

Apple Bloom arrived at the farmhouse in her ragged sweater and sweatpants, even with the temperature being fairly warm outside. The sweat from her forehead dripped from her forehead as she could feel her chest getting heavier and more sensitive under the fabric of her oversized sweater. Picking up the spare key from under the welcome mat, she let herself inside the house, surprised to not see anyone downstairs.

“Applejack!” Apple Bloom called out, clutching onto her stomach as she could feel herself getting warmer. “Big Mac? Granny Smith?”

Going up the stairs, Apple Bloom gasped as she wiped her forehead. She poked into every room, looking for Applejack for the advice of what was going on with her. She could feel her horns rubbing against the knit cap as the worries crept over her even more. Stomping back down to the main room, Apple Bloom made her way into the kitchen and looked out of the window.

The fields looked surprisingly empty around the big red barn to the side of the house. Still no sign of Applejack from what she could see. Sighing heavily, Apple Bloom went back into the main room as her clothed disguise felt itchier with every second it rubbed against her skin. She suddenly flopped onto the couch and closed her eyes as she groaned, not sure what to make of what was happening.

A familiar ring buzzed in her pants, jolting Apple Bloom out of her stupor. Jumping up with her breasts bouncing under her sweatshirt, she rustled through her sweatpants to find her phone, noticing that it was Scootaloo calling for the first time in a long while since going their separate ways.

“Hey, Scoots!” Apple Bloom greeted, answering the call.

“Hey Apple Bloom, uh… is it alright if I come over? Something’s up and well, maybe you know how to fix it.”

“Huh? Uh, yeah, I’m at the farm if you want to meet up,” Apple Bloom sat back down on the couch, scratching at her chest.

“The farm? But isn’t the school year still going on?”

“Yeah, I wanted to talk to my sister but she’s not here. Aren’t you in classes too?”

Before Scootaloo had a chance to answer, another call was coming through on Apple Bloom’s phone. She pulled the phone away from her ear to see that Sweetie Belle was calling her as well. “Hold on Scoots, Sweetie’s calling me.”

“Wait, Apple B-”

“Hey, Sweetie!” Apple Bloom greeted, surprised to see another friend call.

“Apple Bloom! I need your help!”

“Oh? What’s up?” Apple Bloom asked, feeling her head getting itchy under her knit cap.

“It’s not exactly something I can explain? Can we meet up?”

“Yeah, I’m at the farm!” Apple Bloom explained.

“Farm? But what about school? And your classes?”

“Yeah, I know Sweetie. Just come over here and me and Scoots will help you out.” Apple Bloom answered, looking up at the ceiling.

“Scootaloo? She’s over there too?”

“She’s dealing with something too.” Apple Bloom sat back up on the couch, remembering Scootaloo on the other side of the call.

“Okay, okay, I’ll be over soon!”

The line ended as Apple Bloom switched back to Scootaloo’s call as she scratched her legs under her sweatpants.

“So Sweetie’s panicking about something too.” Apple Bloom explained.

“That makes two of us.”

“So, you coming over for breakfast? I’m starving.” Her stomach growled loud enough for Scootaloo to hear it over the receiver.

“It’s… almost noon.”

“Yeah, so you better get over here so we can help me and Sweetie Belle with our issues.”

“Wait, wait, don’t forget about me!”

With a quick press of the button, Apple Bloom ended the call and closed her eyes, as she laid spread out on the couch. What were the odds of both of her best friends calling her today? Would they know what to do about what was happening?

Apple Bloom’s eyes shot open as she sat up, feeling her body tingling all over. The heat had become unbearable in the living room and she had to do something to fix it.

Standing in the middle of the living room, Apple Bloom pulled off her sweater to expose her huge bare breasts to the cool air inside of the house. Taking off the knit beanie, she wiped off the sweat of her forehead, not paying attention to the horns protruding from her red hair. Slipping off her sweatpants, Apple Bloom noticed her pajama bottoms soaked with the sweat from under her clothes. She quickly pulled them off, feeling free of all restrictions in her plump, nude form. She breathed a sigh of relief as her body started to cool down, the nub on her lower back stretching out ever so slightly.

Apple Bloom sat down on the couch with her bare rear end, taking off her shoes and pulling off her socks. Wriggling her pudgy toes in front of her, she closed her eyes for a second before her stomach once again growled with heavy intensity.

Standing up, Apple Bloom made her way to the kitchen and rustled around for something to eat. Opening the fridge, she could feel the cool air of the conditioner blowing against her bare skin, cooling her down from the heat. Unfortunately, there was nothing ready to eat in the fridge, leading her to search elsewhere.

Pushing aside an apple and orange in a bowl, her hands gripped onto a big jar of homemade cookies. Opening the lid, Apple Bloom quickly scarfed down one of the cookies before the doorbell rang. She briskly made her way over to the front door, opening it without a care in the world that she wasn’t wearing any clothes. Fortunately, it was just Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle at the door.

“Is it just me or have you gotten a little shorter? Also a bit chubbier?” Sweetie Belle commented, leaning over to see Scootaloo looking up at her.

“Well, we’ll just see what Apple Bloom has to say about my height!” Scootaloo shot back before the two looked over at the naked Apple Bloom in the doorway.

“Apple Bloom!” Sweetie Belle shrieked, not expecting to see her friend nude in front of her in the middle of the day.

“Yeah um… You want to do something about yourself, Apple Bloom?” Scootaloo asked, turning away as a soft blush crossed her cheeks.

Apple Bloom chewed and swallowed a cookie in front of her friends before looking down to see that she was indeed in the buff, answering the door, with her friends in front of her. “Oh shit!”

She quickly shoved the jar of cookies into Scootaloo’s arms as the two girls stepped towards the doorway, only to have Apple Bloom slam the door in their faces. Scootaloo looked over at Sweetie Belle, whose cheeks looked even redder than hers from what she could imagine.

“I wasn’t expecting that to happen.” Sweetie Belle whispered as Apple Bloom opened the door, this time dressed in her baggy clothes from earlier. Scootaloo shrugged as she stuffed her hand into the jar, taking one of Apple Bloom’s cookies for herself.

“Hey girls,” she smiled, trying to play off the embarrassment from earlier, “Come on in!”

The two girls walked in as Apple Bloom grabbed the jar from Scootaloo, getting back into the cookies. Apple Bloom flopped back on the couch as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle made their seats on the floor next to her. She had noticed that Scootaloo was heavier than she was before heading off to her school and Sweetie Belle’s thighs pushed out against the hem of her skirt. “So, what’s with you two? All this time we haven’t talked and now both of you decide to call me?”

“Yeah, I dunno about Scootaloo, but are you normally supposed to gain like… a lot of weight after going to college?” Sweetie Belle asked, looking over to her pudgier friend.

“I thought it was just that fifteen pounds that you gain from all the good food but the mess didn’t have anything but healthy food. I had to sneak in the good stuff!” Scootaloo answered, looking proud at her smuggling.

“Mess? Huh?”

“The uh… cafeteria. Sorry, air force talk!” Scootaloo explained, looking at the heavier Apple Bloom as well.

“Whoa, let’s talk about you! What was with the…” Sweetie Belle chirped up, waving her hands to gesture to the nude gesture that she and Scootaloo had experienced not more than five minutes ago. “Y’know!”

Apple Bloom sighed, raising her hand over her head as she pulled off her beanie, showing off the small horns coming from her head. “So I’ve been going through these really weird changes, like being really lazy and failing my classes and I don’t know why. I came here looking for Applejack but she’s not here and then you two called and said you guys were going through some stuff so I figured we could help each other out?”

“And how long has this been going on?” Scootaloo asked, raising her eyebrow.

“Umm… maybe a week or two now?” Apple Bloom answered, her cheeks turning red from embarrassment.

“A week?!” Sweetie Belle squeaked, standing up in front of the couch. “You think that growing horns and spots was normal?”

“I...uhh... I didn’t know! It didn’t seem that bad until…” Apple Bloom trailed off, unsure of how much she wanted to tell her friends. Scootaloo gave a telling nod to Sweetie Belle beside her, not seeing the first time that their friend was a bit forgetful.

“Until?” Sweetie Belle repeated, leading Apple Bloom to continue.

Apple Bloom looked blankly at her friends for a second. “What was I talking about again?”

Scootaloo groaned as Sweetie Belle slapped her palm into her face. Taking a deep breath, Sweetie Belle tried her best to assess the situation from how she saw it.

“Well, with the horns and spots, it’s like I’m… turning into a cow?” Apple Bloom questioned in deep thought.

“Well, that takes care of Apple Bloom, how about you Sweetie Belle?” Scootaloo asked, turning the spotlight to her nervous friend next to her.

“I… I have been going through a few things too. Mythica is really hard.” Sweetie Belle admitted, shuffling her feet on the ground. “The classes go super fast and I haven’t been doing very well on my tests. It’s really… frustrating!”

“Told you,” Scootaloo interjected, getting a glare from Apple Bloom as Sweetie Belle continued her story.

“Then I got worried about gaining weight so I changed my diet to veggies and things. But then I got really self-conscious about tests and what the others thought about the weird veggie girl and I just started staying at the dorm while freaking out that I shouldn’t be alone and… that’s not even the worst part.”

“What’s that, Sweetie?” Apple Bloom asked, seeing Sweetie Belle’s face turn sheet white at the thought.

“Diamond Tiara is in three of my classes! Her father got her into the university and she’s still mean to me and about you two too!”

“Ugh, Diamond Tiara,” Scootaloo commented, blowing a raspberry.

“And lately I’ve been kind of itchy and scratching at myself and the bed and… yesterday, well, something weird happened.”

Sweetie Belle turned around as her friends watched on in intrigue. Gripping onto the edge of her skirt, Sweetie Belle pulled it down to her knees, displaying her backside in her unicorn panties along with a tuft of feathers growing from her tailbone. Her face blushed heavily as Scootaloo stood up at the sight of the feathers.

“Whoa! You got a tail like Apple Bloom?!” Scootaloo shouted as her pants slipped off, exposing her thunderbolt print underwear. She quickly grabbed the edge of her belt, pulling it up to cover herself.

“Yeah! And this weird thing on my head makes me feel like a chicken hen or something!” Sweetie Belle pulled her skirt back up as she turned around, noticing that Scootaloo was a good inch or two shorter than her. “Have you always been that short, Scootaloo?”

“What? No! You just got taller Sweetie!” Scootaloo blushed, scowling at the thought.

“No, I think she’s on to something. Your clothes are also really draped around you too.” Apple Bloom added, making Scootaloo grip onto her pants to not let them drop again.

“It was a laundry day. Cut me some slack!” Scootaloo shot back with a huff.

“And your nose?” Sweetie Belle asked, pointing at Scootaloo’s face. Scootaloo raised her hand to her face, pressing against her nose. She could feel her nose getting flat against her palm as a short snort escaped her widening nostrils.

“Something wrong, Scoots?” Apple Bloom asked as Scootaloo sighed and sat back down.

“Okay, so, I had a pretty rough week like Sweetie. Not Diamond Tiara rough, but it’s… pretty bad.” Scootaloo began as Sweetie Belle sat down next to her.

“The Academy is way too rigid with their stuffy rules. They control when we go to bed, when we wake up, what we eat, what we learn, what we do, it’s… too much! I just wanted to relax, learn some cool tricks like Rainbow Dash, and eat junk food all day!”

Sweetie Belle gave a similar telling nod to Apple Bloom as Scootaloo continued her story.

“Yesterday, I got kicked off the team for missing a super-early practice. Then they searched in my bunk and got rid of all of my snacks! And I couldn’t do anything about it! I got so mad that I went to the showers, which were absolutely freezing, and I…”

Scootaloo paused for a second, unsure if she wanted to continue.

“And? What did you do?” Sweetie Belle asked, wanting to hear the rest of the story.

“I blew off a little steam. Then I packed off and left, calling Apple Bloom to look for a place to stay while I dealt with all this. I couldn’t seem to process all of these… pig-like changes!” Scootaloo finished, trying not to stare at Apple Bloom’s chest as she sat up. “I guess I owe you all an apology.”

“Yeah, me too,” Sweetie Belle added.

“No, I was wrong too. I shouldn’t have wanted to keep you guys from leaving. But now, with everything that’s happening, I want my best friends to be here while I figure it out!” Apple Bloom confessed, dragging the two into a group hug.

The girls embraced each other as Scootaloo more than intentionally grazed against Apple Bloom’s sweater, feeling her breast on the back of her hand. Apple Bloom let out a quick exclamation, her cheeks turning red from the contact.

“Has anyone also been really turned on lately?” Scootaloo asked, her cheeks turning red. Apple Bloom looked away, blushing just as heavily.

“I’ve been handling things in the shower more often, yeah.” Apple Bloom replied, the two of them looking at Sweetie Belle.

“What? I don’t know what you two are talking about!” Sweetie Belle shrugged as Scootaloo and Apple Bloom looked at each other.

“Are your nips hard right now, Apple Bloom?” Scootaloo asked with a heavy breath as Sweetie Belle backed up.

“What? No…” Apple Bloom lied, scrunching her mouth up as her sister does.

“You’re a bad liar. What made you so excited?” Scootaloo asked, rubbing her legs together as she started to feel a tingle between her thigh.

“You mentioned… getting off in the shower. It made me think of some… things…” Apple Bloom stuttered, instinctively rubbing at her chest.

“Like how this slob jills out in private?” Scootaloo asked seductively as she backed away slowly. Unfortunately, her pants fell to her feet, tripping her as she fell backward with her legs open. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle stared at the embarrassed Scootaloo, blushing with her panties in full view.

“Oh, not exactly…” Apple Bloom replied, lifting her sweater to show off her bare breast as she sat down against the couch.

“Girls… we shouldn’t…” Sweetie Belle gulped, teasing at the edge of her skirt.

“Apple Bloom, your tits are huge~” Scootaloo complimented as she rubbed at herself, feeling herself getting wet under her panties.

“Mmm, thanks Scoots~” Apple Bloom squeezed her breast, giving off a low moan.

“Ahh, I gotta…” Sweetie Belle sat down, pulling her skirt up as she rubbed at her panties to join in with her friends.

As the girls began to pleasure themselves and moan next to each other, they couldn’t hear the front door unlock and open as Applejack announced her return from the errands. She walked in to see the half-dressed, half-animal girls giving in to their instincts as they watched each other, not even noticing her presence. In Applejack’s mind, she could hear the animal noises coming from the pleasure in the room as she began to form the perfect solution to their livestock problem on the farm.

Apple Bloom let out a loud moo as Scootaloo kissed her chest, holding her pudgy body against her. “Who’s a dirty cow~? Let me taste your sweet milk~!”
